You're likely on the right track. I suspect he must have just watched a TV show or seen something in the news about the sisters at the time the reference now long lost to us...it sounds like its about society and moral judgements regarding relationships over time. Nicky has said it was essentially a completed set of lyrics but he's not sure of all the references bar the mummy what's a sex pistol which was a punk slogan found on badges etc... Jackie Collins was obviously controversial and I read that the outrage around her first book was not so much the sex as the immorality of a married man having an affair.
So attitudes to sex and relationships?

'I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.' (from Sea Fever - John Masefield)

That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all" - Emily Dickinson
